On 9/11

Lets all take a minute, and remember the tragedy that took place on that fateful day. lets all take a minute and think about its impact on the world. lets all take a minute and think about all the people who were murdered. lets all take a minute and think about the murderers. lets all take a minute, a moment of silence if you will, and stand in reverence for those lost.
lets all take a minute and take a minute and remember the past

lets all take a minute and prevent that past from becoming present once more.
lets all take a minute and turn our cheeks from others
lets all take a minute and cause death to our brothers
lets all take a minute and focus on what divides us, for it is our differences that prevail
lets all take a minute and seek justice for the fallen
lets all take a minute and seek justice for the fallen
lets all take a minute and seek justice for the fallen
lets all take a minute to see virtue in bigotry
lets all take a minute and allow our ideals to veil reason
lets all take a minute and let pain conquer love
lets all take a minute and lose our humanity.
lets all take a minute and seek vengeance for our families
lets all take a minute and take the lives of the life takers


its time we moved on from remembrance and reverence in regards to great tragedies. they should not cause us to move in the direction of hate and revenge as they already do. we must rise above ourselves. we always hear how those who dont remember the past, are doomed to repeat its mistakes. world leaders, everyone for that matter, remembers the past. it has not brought us any closer to brotherhood. its our remembrance of our conflicts, the anger held by those with fallen family, and the vengeance which stems from not letting the past be the past that causes future strife. palestine and israel may be less angry with each other if they could forgive and forget the past conflicts. maybe relations between u.s.a and iran would be better too. to those who say that its not that easy...why cant it be? seriously. are we just making this more difficult than it has to be?

lets all take a minute to forgive
lets all take a minute to forget
